“A-10s could clean that up in about 20 minutes.”

Yes, air strikes could wipe out lots of those enemy soldiers. Air strikes will not rule their societies.

The enemy in Riyadh and Islamabad remains untouched. Another Vietnam War in Mesopotamia will do nothing about that.

They’re not laughing at Obama.

They’re laughing at America.

"If one understand that Obama is a Trojan Horse, and is an instrument of our destruction - then we might see Obama as the Islamic and the Communist world does; a genius."

Indeed, Obama has been a bringer of chaos and death and from the wreckage springs the Islamist dream of the Greater Caliphate. He is now accelerating his efforts to destroy the US as well and is encouraging the human wave invasion of America through the uncontrolled Southern border. Obama is an incredible success.

Yep. This is what happens when America becomes weak. And that we are — we have become a WEAK country. We were attacked, went to war ...yet we go in and not ten years into it, we decide we “don’t have the stomach” for any more war ...and so we allow our “leaders” to change the rules.

We elect a complete IMBECILE BUFFOON community organizer who promises skittles and rainbows and has no intention of EVER finishing the job or making good on it — a job HE accepted, yet takes no responsibility for.

You BET we’re damn mad and disgusted as military members. We had friends die, saw all the pain, suffering, enormous effort over these past ten/12 years ...Americans, with all their weakness, cowardice, stupidity and LIBERAL voting ....have caused this.

It’s getting to the point I’m just not proud of being an American anymore. There is no America — only a bunch of weak fools — by half at least.

He’s not an idiot. This is part of his goal. The dimunition of the West and all the West stands for. He hates America and American ideals and half the country elected him, twice.

That’s what we’re up against.

There is no doubt about that. Am I wrong or didn’t the Iraqi president Maliki (sp) ask us to leave? Seems I remember that. We would have either way. What a senseless waste of lives. This is Vietnam all over again. Abandon those we promised to help.

It is going according to plan but not Obama’s plan, the idea that he is actually the planner is like mistaking a very good brick mason for an architect.

It was not a senseless waste of lives.

The Gulf States are thriving after the removal of the threat and actual invasion of Saddam.

The capture of Baghdad was an extension of the freeing of Kuwait after a hiatus of 10 years or so.

That's just what I think. I feel like a cash cow that is being milked dry to support the regime and the bums who vote them back into power.

I just wish Obama Sr would have pulled out instead of having his son do it 50 years later.

Correct Jim. And now the second largest OPEC producing nation will fall to Al Qaeda. They will soon have billions and billions of oil revenue at their fingertips. Syria and Egypt will soon be completely under effective i’ll Qaeda control. Oil prices will skyrocket. Israel will be surrounded, with ZERO help from the US under Obama’s control. A massive, dangerous world war could be at the doorstep.

Obama is an idiot.

or Jim, he knows what he is doing. he planned from the beginning to destabilize the region, drive up oil prices here at home (he also is in the middle of closing down coal fired power plants), and make us a 3rd world nation like his beloved Indonesia or Kenya or whatever.

INVAR, in my opinion, you have come the closest to understanding what is really occurring.

You have linked the two forces Obama is committed to empowering.

He is a Muslim committed to using the resources of America to bring about a revived Caliphate in the Middle East.

He is also an agent of Communism, under the control of Putin.

We cannot even take something like that in, but everything he has done since 2009 has been to benefit Islam and Russia.

This is another reason why he will do nothing to contain Putin in the Ukraine, and he will do nothing in Iraq to stop ISIS.

We are witnessing a global shift in the balance of power in the Middle East in real time.

While America, watches prostrate, like Gulliver lying tied up on the beach by the Lilliputians.

Will they still say “No blood for oil” when we attack the terrorists with drones?

Drones won't be spilling the blood of American Troops.
